What is Deep
Listening?
︎ rooted in deep ecology ︎
The practice of deep listening explores the differences between a more passive hearing and participatory listening. At its most basic, focused listening is a way to give attention to the other.
When taking part in deep listening on our many sites of study, our team of both newly trained and seasoned listeners focus on not only on noises that are immediately audible, but also layers of more underlying sonic indicators, patterns, and messages, which may take more concentration, technological help, and creativity to pick up.
